NOTES
Scorpo Vineyard & Wines is owned and operated by the Scorpo family. Twenty-five years as a horticulturist and landscape architect have given Paul Scorpo a unique perspective on the design documentation and construction management for an extensive range of projects. These include international golf courses, streetscapes, educational institutions, public parks and private gardens that may be found around Australia, Europe and South East Asia.
Paul’s Italian heritage along with wife Caroline’s shared passions for food, wine and gardens has been passed down to their daughters Emma, Sarah and Claire. This enduring combination of pursuits around similar endeavours has inspired the family to work together on a project to create a truly unique vineyard on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.
TASTING NOTES
A lustrous golden straw hue greets the eye before a chameleon nose of lush grapefruit, peach and melon one minute, cashew nut, cucumber and spices the next. These characters reappear on a rich and opulent palate pierced by a deep groove of streamlined fruit acidity. Very true to character, viscous and vivacious finishing clean and dry.
OTHER REVIEWS
Smells good - apples, pear and peaches, a musky fragrance, white flowers and baby oil. On the palate fresh and lively with good clean acid, a pleasing minerality and excellent length of flavour. It’s refreshing and dry, neither phenolic or oily, and drinks beautifully from start to finish. I’d say it’s a local benchmark. Excellent wine. 93 Points, Gary Walsh – Winorama, July 2008
A fresh, lively, minerally wine, with pear, apple and musk offset by lemony acidity on the dry finish; in the upper echelon. 90 Points, James Halliday – Australian Wine Companion 2009
